Loved it.

For real. And now I’ve got the song stuck in my head -

Exactly what I was thinking. Of course the celebrity fluff bullshit gets dumped in the ladies blog, while the men handle the real issues (so to speak).

Women worldwide have co-opted the “girl gangz” imagery

This isn’t my experience of the Dutch at all. The reports on Srebenica, for example, were both thorough and damning. As is always the case, it depends on who you talk to.

Was horrified to see Jeremy Slater’s name attached to the script - his blog “How to write screenplays... badly” was the greatest. Still hoping he will have a great career in Hollywood. He is better than this mess.

Ease up, son. If you clutch those pearls any tighter you’re gonna choke yourself.

So basically, one crappy professor has to deal with a complaint by a couple of crappy students, and they are all treated crappily by the crap administration.

And this. Having worked in reproductive rights advocacy in the national and international political spheres for, god help me, over 20 years - unless you take a close look at the issues and really understand the nuts-and-bolts of how policy intersects with women’s lives, it is easy to under-appreciate what Hillary has…

So true. Maybe you have to be a certain age to realize this (and the rest of the points you make in your comments). You call them “unreformed” and I call them “unreconstructed” but you are right on the money. Its the kind of guy Norman Mailer typified.

This. The push back against seeing Obama for what he was, was incredible.

Reminds me of when I was a kid, in the 70s, when neighborhood dogs roamed loose... my single-mother mom wanted to help out the single-mother-with-four-wild-teenage-sons across the street, so my mom took the woman's horribly shaggy matted and dirty shi tzu / yorkie mix to the groomer. The plan was to let it loose…

Nobody loves a nice long soak in a hot bath more than my bull terror.

This is good stuff, but you don't want to go stale. So - every once in a while write down a real Founding Father quote, but insist that you made it up.

And THIS is what I find so infuriating about 'pro-lifers' in the United States.

Also - to your point about real journalists. I clicked through to the article and my professional opinion (I know IPAS well) is that Fusion did zero original reporting. The Fusion story reflects the work of IPAS http://www.ipas.org/en/What-We-Do/… and their colleagues like the Center for Reproductive Rights http://re…

DAMN, lady. I agree with you in principle, though in this case I think the "snitching" phrase is useful shorthand approximating the cross-pressures on health workers (I haven't clicked through for the full piece because I am already familiar with the situation - my work covers this subject area).

Horribly, I would think the answer is that they practice a lot first on large animals.

Thank you for deleting it - you did the right thing.

I don't begrudge her for being successful at marketing a constructed self-identity as a product - plenty of other men and women in the entertainment industry have done that.
